I added a profile to Thunderbird by starting Thunderbird with the -P option.

When I start TB now, I always get a 'Welcome to TB' message asking me to configure e-mail, agenda, addressbook, ... I believe this happens because TB does know with which profile to start. Here is the ini.file:

[InstallD78BF5DD33499EC2] Default=Profiles/js5fsayn.default Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/js5fsayn.default Default=1

[Profile0] Name=default-release IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/ctlucc8a.default-release

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Profile2] Name=OldSV2022 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/v1kctfc6.OudSV2022

How can I makeTB start with the '.default' profile?

Thanks in advance, Steven.

Launch the profile manager again, select the profile you want to be the default, and check the option that sets it as the default. See Profile Manager - Create and remove Thunderbird profiles
